An inappropriate advert for a rental property has been removed from a flat-sharing website.

The ad, featured on flatshare.com, was for a three bedroom, three bathroom flat in Fulham, West London.

The property was being advertised as available for just £1 a month, the bizarre catch being that the tenant would have to use the landlord 'as a slave'.

The description read as follows:

I have a lovely house in Fulham with three bedrooms, three bathrooms and garden. I am willing to offer the master suite free to a lady or young couple that will make and treat me as a slave.

The master bedroom has a large ensuite bathroom and a small attached room that can be used as a study/dressing room.

A bit about me. I am 63 years old and have been used as a slave before and those were the happiest days of my life. I do not seek an intimate or sexual relationship and see myself as a domestic and financial slave.

It has subsequently been removed by flatshare.com, which confirmed that while it had no reason to believe it wasn't genuine, the ad wasn't suitable for the website.
